Title: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError * Resolved [mathkn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mathkn/) * (@mathkn) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror-1/) * Hi, * I have a problem with the plugin. Seems to be a Javascript issue. Get this error when I inspect: * js?libraries=geometry%2Cplaces%2Cweather%2Cpanoramio%2Cdrawing&language=no&ver =4.5.3:32 Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error_.ab](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error_.ab) @ js?libraries=geometry%2Cplaces%2Cweather%2Cpanoramio%2Cdrawing&language=no& ver=4.5.3:32 util.js:211 Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys) * Any solution on how to fix it? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-map-plugin/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-map-plugin/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [ekelareva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekelareva/) * (@ekelareva) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror-1/#post-7508942) * The Google Maps APIs require an API key for new domains as of today. See announcement: [http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html](http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html) * To fix this: * 1) Create an API key as per instructions here: [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key) * 2) Edit the line in the plugin that loads the Google Maps API to include your key as the value of a ‘key’ parameter. Wherever you find “[https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js”](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js”); or “[http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js”](http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js”); in the plugin, change it to “[https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY”](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY”);. * [rytor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rytor/) * (@rytor) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror-1/#post-7509053) * Sorry, my bad.
